While the software's Time filters still display in 15-minute increments, users can double-click on the field to enter the desired time in minutes. When making requests, the software will automatically match the Minutes field End Time with the value entered in the Start Time field.

For example, if as user enters 11:17am as the request Start Time, the software will pick up the "17" value and use it for the request's End Time (e.g., 11:47am).

Thanks to the many subscribing school districts that provided valuable input for this new feature.

With our new Additional Charge feature, District Admins can easily create an Additional Charge category (e.g, Microphone Fee or Custodial Fee) and then apply that category to a submitted Facility Use Request.

Additional Charges are calculated based on three Admin-entered variables:

Quantity

Hours

Rate

Admins can change these variables on the fly. Entries made to a Request are specific to that instance and can be changed for another Request.

This new feature is especially helpful when a Facility Use Request has been cancelled due to expired or non-existent Group insurance certificates. Once updated insurance information has been uploaded and entered in the Group Profile, district users with the appropriate permissions can retrieve the group’s canceled Request and easily return it to pending for approval or other action.

An email is automatically sent to both the requestor and the first person in the space’s Request approval path when this new feature is used.

Here’s what school districts around the USA are saying…

“MLSchedules™ Software has streamlined the building use request process for our district. Requests that used to take minutes to process now take seconds. That's a big deal when you think about the volume of requests that we receive in a school year.
The software is as convenient for the people making requests as it is for the people processing them. Emails are generated any time a request is acted on. A requester can see their request in our building use calendar the instant it is approved.
I have used both paper requests and electronic form requests in the past. I couldn't imagine ever going back now that I've seen what ML schedules can do."
